Time Out New York critic Adam Feldman has been elected to a third term as president of the New York Drama Critics' Circle, the country's second-oldest theatre award.

According to Time Out, this year's awards committee will also be led by Elisabeth Vincentelli, vice president; Joe Dziemianowicz, treasurer; and Eric Grode, recording secretary.

David Finkle of TheaterMania.com was also accepted as a member of the NYDCC. Finkle is the first critic in the history of the organization to "have been accepted primarily for his online work," according to Time Out.

The New York Drama Critics' Circle comprises 20 drama critics from daily newspapers, magazines, and wire services based in the New York metropolitan area. The New York Drama Critics' Circle Award is the nation's second-oldest theatre award, after the Pulitzer Prize for drama; it has been awarded every year since 1936 to the best new play of the season (with additional awards for musicals and foreign or American plays as well as citations for special achievement).

The group will convene in May 2010 to determine its awards for the 2009-2010 season.
